Diogo Jota exchanged passes with Leo Bonatini before firing home in the 10th minute in what proved to be the winner for Wolves, who edged out 10-man Millwall 1-0 for a first win in three which moved them up to third in the standings.
Millwall's Aiden O'Brien was sent off midway through the second half after picking up a second yellow card.
Clayton Donaldson scored in either half as Sheffield United claimed their third win on the spin by seeing off Sunderland 2-1 at the Stadium of Light, with Jack Rodwell's goal deep into stoppage time mere consolation for the Black Cats.
